Calamity Strikes Tips and Strategies

Dodge the Beams

The Guardians' beams can be dodged regardless of the character that you're using. Wait until the Guardian's eye glows then quickly press the dodge button to avoid the beam.

How to Beat the White-Maned Lynel

Same Moveset as the Previous Lynels

This Lynel uses the same attack pattern as the ones that you've already defeated, the only difference is this one's stronger.

Use the Remote Bomb rune when it prepares to breathe fireballs and the Cryonis rune when it charges.

Defeat it much faster by using your elemental rods to break its weak-point gauge.
